...center Elaine Holpuch, is averaging more than 12 points a game, and has racked up 20 points on four separate occassions this season. Harvard point guards Ann Scannell, Pat Horne, Kate Martin, and Nancy Boutilier play tenacious defense, the best Harvard has possessed in years. Each member of the quartet has compiled more than 20 assists; Horne and Martin together can claim 50 steels...
...mighty considerate of NASA to roll out Columbia a full three months before it shoots into the future. Everyone needs a lift in January, and here, magically, comes this stark quartet of domes and turrets rising like a restored castle out of the Florida flats. The timing is impeccable. As the Reagan Administration lumbers into place, so too this other new machine-huge, untried, ambitious (albeit with limited maneuverability); designed to aid national defense, to boost Big Business, to restore U.S. eminence in a domain once its own; a reviver of old dreams; a boon to upward mobility.

English new wave bands 999, Magazine, Gang of Four, Penetration, Ultravox and Sham 69 toured America without the benefit of a Stateside recording contract--acts of unprecedented chutzpah and optimism--and found enthusiastic crowds already familiar with the music packing their club dates. The Gang...
